Cook the Book: 'Barefoot Contessa Back to Basics'
sweet potato fries
Essentials: Hummus
@akk328: try peanut butter. I've never done it that way, and it'll certainly taste a bit different. But I've seen it mentioned as a substitute for tahini.

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
A red chili pepper dark chocolate concoction from a small Swiss chocolate factory. It was sweet, bitter, spicy, and all in perfect balance.

Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
A chocolate mousse with shaved chocolate swirls in a small Parisian brasserie. The mousse was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted, and that was definitely helped by the fact that it was my first night in Paris.

I went to the Borders book store and wrote down this recipe for 'That Chocolate Cake' from the book and its the most simple yet decadent cake me and my family ever had. I made it for my father's 75th birthday!!!
I would really really love to have a copy of the 'Essence of Chocolate' book as I need not write down recipes sitting in the book store anymore :)

When I was in high school my Mom worked in the cafeteria and her best freind was the baker. She made the BEST brownies I've ever had. My Mom got the recipe and I still make them for my son today. They're still the best brownies I've ever had.

Hot chocolate in Italy was the greatest chocolate experience of my life, followed by a basic, fudgy chocolate gateaux with fresh cream poured over it.

Some really decadent brownies I received for Christmas one year that my sister ordered somewhere online. I can't remember right off the top of my head where they came from, but chocolate lover that I am, I wouldn't spend that much on me myself!

standing in the kitchen, age 8, licking brownie batter off my fingers from the ancient metal saucepan my mom always mixed them in. she had just showed me how to make them, and i was anticipating 30 minutes of cooking time agony before i could taste them.
it was almost as good as the finished brownies- dark, rich, gooey and addictive. that was over 20 years ago, and i've been making them ever since.

It's a tube cake that taste like a brownie with carmel dripped over it with walnuts.

It was a wonderful chocolate fondue - - I got to dip all kinds of goodness in that gooey mess, and loved every bite.

I have celiac disease and must follow a strict gluten free diet. When dining out desserts are the biggest challenge and often means having coffee and dessert at home. I recently went to a restaurant for a family celebration and much to my surprise the dessert menu listed a flourless chocolate brownie AND the menu clearly declared the gluten free status of each component! I checked with the wait staff and after a few questions, I was satisfied that they followed all the "rules'.
When the dessert arrived, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The warm rich chocolate brownie was topped with freshly whipped cream and a warm raspberry reduction syrup; with the first bite I was "lost". It was a soul satisfying indulgence.
